Water damage increases in pietra dura inlay when which mechanism is most compromised?

💡 Explanation

Delamination worsens water penetration because weak boundary interfacial energy between stones allows moisture influx, therefore detachment increases, rather than expansion which would cause compression, hygroscopic materials are irrelevant, and hydraulic flow is unrelated.
